Not open for further replies.
getting back to my TOS books. I've been reading them in numerical order. Just now starting #19 "My Enemy, My Ally" Also reading James Rollin's latest "Devil Colony"
 
I just finished The Road from Cormac McCarthy. Wonderful. Depressing as hell, but wonderful. I will start On Writing from Stephen King now.

What are you thinking of The Devil Colony? I'm a huge Sigma Force fan, and I've really been looking forward to that one. Seichan, is in it right? She's my favorite character.
 
Just finished reading Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden's "Baltimore" novel. In between "parts", I read the first trade of the complimentary "Baltimore" comic series.
 
Just started The Resurrectionist by Jack O'Connell. A couple of his earlier novels, Wireless and The Skin Palace, completely blew me away, but the next one not so much, so I don't know what to expect here. It appears to be continuing his move from surreal mystery novels into more full blown weirdness, though.

I'm about 80 pages in. Really enjoying it so far. This one really draws you in from the get go. Yep, Seichan is back.
For some reason, i always picture Gray being played by Randy Orton.
 
I finished Extinction, that Sarah Palin tell-all book by Frank Bailey, and the five Vatta's War books by Elizabeth Moon.

Hmm, I don't know. I've always pictured Grey as more of a George Clooney or Brad Pitt type myself. IMO Monk has to be played by Micheal Chicklis, and Seichan is Michelle Yeoh.
 
Well Vanguard: Declassified has not shown up yet, so I started George RR Martin's A storm of Swords today
 
star trek typhon pact: paths of disharmony finally....

and then onto IFM and then DTI:WTC and then taking a star trek break. probably going to either start percy jackson & the Olympians series or a game of thrones. recomendations for which to start is welcome.
 
I'm very far behind on my Trek reading.

But, right now I'm reading "Carte Blanche" by Jeffery Deaver. The new 007 novel.

^I want to read that at some stage.

In the meantime, I just finished Dragonfly Falling and started Vanguard: Declassified. Once that's finished it will be back to the Shadows of the Apt series with Blood of the Mantis.
 
Currently Stars at War 2 by David Weber and Steve White. Next up I have the new Warehouse 13 novel by Greg Cox and Vanguard Declassified:)
 
I downloaded Declassified earlier and I plan on starting it later today.
 
Reading Vanguard: Open Secrets and Titan: Sword of Damaclos at the same time. Well, not at the same time really, but taking turns.
 
Ok, if you're being that completist, there are a couple things I'd change. Some of the logic flows better when you change print order just a little bit.

I'm good with your list up to Enemy Territory. Then I'd go:

- A Burning House
- A Time To Kill
- A Time To Heal
- A Time For War / A Time For Peace
- Death In Winter
- Titan: Taking Wing

Move A Burning House and Death In Winter from down where they are, and add the three A Time To books (but ignore the other six). Continue after Taking Wing exactly as you have.

Then, after Warpath, you need to add Fearful Symmetry and The Soul Key somewhere before Destiny. They have some stuff in them that makes Ezri's arc make more sense, when you get to Destiny.

Finally, read Losing The Peace just after Destiny, before A Singular Destiny.

Trust me; I've just recently done this whole catching up thing, and this is how I wish I'd done it.
Thanks, Thrawn. I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind. Don't know if I'll add re-reading the "Time to" books - I might just skim them to remind myself of the plots.

I finished Enemy of My Enemy tonight - on to Trill and Bajor!
